Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trade show booth with TV mount and why do I need one?
A media-integrated booth combines traditional fabric graphics with built-in TV/monitor mounting systems, allowing you to display product videos, demos, testimonials, and live presentations. Studies show booths with video content generate 3x longer visitor engagement and 40% more qualified leads compared to static displays. TenseFlex™ Media booths seamlessly integrate screens into the aluminum frame structure—no wobbly external stands or exposed cables.
What size TV or monitor can TenseFlex™ Media booths support?
Our media booths support displays from 24" to 55" depending on the model:
Standard kits: Up to 40" monitors (50 lbs max)
PRO Series & Modular booths: Up to 55" displays (65 lbs max)
Bridge configurations: 40" recommended for optimal viewing angles The integrated aluminum TV merchandiser distributes weight across the frame for rock-solid stability—no tipping or wobbling during busy show floors.
Do I need to bring my own TV or is it included?
The booth includes the TV mounting hardware and support structure—you provide the display screen. This allows you to:
Use your existing monitors (save $300-$800)
Upgrade to newer technology without replacing the booth
Choose screen specs based on your content (4K, touchscreen, etc.)
Avoid shipping fragile electronics (rent locally or bring in carry-on)
How do I hide cables and power cords in a tension fabric booth?
TenseFlex™ Media booths feature integrated cable management:
Hollow aluminum frame tubes route cables internally
Fabric panels conceal wiring behind graphics
Modular podiums include built-in cable channels
Optional cable covers match booth aesthetics Result: Clean, professional appearance with no visible wires—even during setup.
Is setting up a booth with TV mount more complicated than a basic booth?
Not at all! TenseFlex™ Media booths use the same tool-free snap-lock assembly as standard booths (10-15 minutes total). The TV mount is pre-integrated into the frame—simply:
Assemble the aluminum frame (8 minutes)
Attach tension fabric graphics (3 minutes)
Mount your TV using included VESA brackets (2 minutes)
Connect power and media player No technical expertise required. First-time exhibitors complete setup successfully using our video guide.
What electrical requirements do media booths need at trade shows?
You'll need one standard 110V electrical outlet (typically $150-$300 from show organizers). Power requirements:
Single 40" monitor: ~80-120 watts
Dual monitors: ~150-200 watts
Add LED lighting: +30-50 watts per fixture Most booths run on a single 15-amp circuit. For multi-day shows, we recommend surge protectors and cable locks to prevent accidental disconnections.
What type of video content works best on trade show booth monitors?
High-performing content types:
Product demos (30-60 sec loops): Show your product solving a problem—no sound needed
Customer testimonials (15-30 sec clips): Build credibility with real user stories
Brand story videos (60-90 sec): Communicate your mission and differentiation
Live social media feeds: Display real-time Instagram posts with your event hashtag
Interactive presentations: Touch-enabled screens for self-guided product exploration
Pro tip: Use silent videos with captions—trade show floors are noisy, and 85% of social video is watched without sound.
Should I use horizontal or vertical monitors for trade show booths?
Horizontal (landscape) orientation is standard and recommended:
Matches natural viewing angles (eye-level, 5-7 ft high)
Compatible with standard video formats (16:9)
Easier to integrate with booth graphics
Better for group viewing (2-4 people simultaneously)
Vertical (portrait) works for specific use cases: social media feeds, product catalogs, or tall product demonstrations. Most TenseFlex™ mounts support both orientations.
How do media booths increase lead generation compared to static displays?
Data from 500+ exhibitors shows media booths deliver:
58% higher booth traffic: Motion attracts attention from 30+ feet away
3.2x longer dwell time: Visitors stay to watch content (avg 4.5 min vs 1.4 min)
40% more qualified leads: Video pre-qualifies prospects before staff engagement
2x social media mentions: Attendees photograph/share video-enabled booths
TenseFlex™ Media booths let your content work 24/7—even when staff are in meetings or at lunch.
What's the difference between TenseFlex™ PRO and Modular Media booths?
PRO Series (Straight/Curved):
Single large backdrop (10ft) with integrated aluminum TV merchandiser
Canvas display panels for product samples or printed materials
Sleek, minimalist aesthetic
Best for: Tech companies, software demos, service providers
Modular Media Booths (A-G):
Two separate backdrop panels (39" + 79") in various shapes (straight/curved/angled)
Modular podium with shelving and TV mount
More flexible product display zones
Best for: Physical product companies, multi-product lines, hands-on demos
What's the ROI of adding video to my trade show booth?
Based on client data:
Upfront cost: Media booth vs. basic booth = +$600-$1,200
Lead generation increase: +40% qualified leads per show
Cost per lead reduction: 28% lower (more leads, same booth cost)
Sales cycle acceleration: Prospects who watch product videos close 33% faster
Example: If you generate 50 leads/show at $80 cost per lead ($4,000 total), a media booth generating 70 leads drops your CPL to $57—saving $1,610 per show while improving lead quality.
Can media booths be used outside of trade shows?
Absolutely! TenseFlex™ Media booths excel in:
Retail environments: In-store product launch events, seasonal promotions
Corporate events: Investor presentations, employee onboarding, town halls
Showrooms: Permanent or rotating product displays with video content
Conferences: Sponsorship activations, breakout session backdrops
Recruitment fairs: Company culture videos, employee testimonials
Pop-up shops: Brand storytelling in high-traffic locations
The media integration makes these booths versatile marketing assets—not just trade show tools.
